    Wow! Absolutely fascinating video! Thank you for this. Last year I never knew there were different types of grass and now I'm discovering there's different types of sand for different uses! Absolutely awesome. Many thanks to the gentleman who told his sand story here. He knows his stuff! :-)

    Thank you for yet another great video Robbie! I noticed you haven't mentioned using a roller to press everything in for good see to soil contact. Would it be good to do this after covering the seeds? Or maybe after using the lawn lute whereby in that case you wouldn't water until all is done, otherwise everything will stick to the roller?

A quick question though: should we carry out all of the tasks mentioned in your "lawn care calendar" playlist as a good comprehensive care program? Or do we pick and choose according to needs, obviously there is no one size fits all...Unless u fancy a few wee jobs in Germany?😂 Again, thank u

    We had a lot of daddy long legs (craneflies) in the Autumn (fall) in the North West of England. I applied nematodes in October and kept the lawn watered for 3 weeks. I tried to time it so the nematodes were active after the eggs have hatched. I haven’t seen much evidence of the lawn suffering from the grubs over the spring, or birds pecking, so it might have worked. You can also spray the lawn with garlic in the autumn, which will repel the insects (arachnids) to some extent - as long as there are other grassy areas (the neighbours’ lawn 🙂) they will go there to lay their eggs.

    Following the channel from NZ, very helpful. Can I ask how you cleared up the debris after scarifying? Do you have any tips to speed up the process? Do I need to brush/rake in the seed before using a drag mat to get good soil contact, or is the drag mat (with some added weight maybe) enough to press the seed onto the soil? Thanks

    Hi Robbie. I've been battling these buggers for five years. I had the chemical treatment done at the start of March and to be honest it's not had much effect. I regret not waiting until the autumn as I understand they're easier to kill when young. I really want to get it done again. Do you know of the treatment gets registered on a government register or something or can I just get a different company to do it without risking a fine for doing it twice in one year? Thanks
